F
.fp file A file that contains information about the function tree and function
panels of an instrument module.
function panel A screen-oriented user interface to the LabWindows/CVI libraries in
which you can interactively execute library functions and generate
code for inclusion in a program.
Function Panel Editor window The window in which you build a function panel. The
LabWindows/CVI Instrument Driver Developers Guide.
function panel window The window in which you can use function panels.
function tree The hierarchical structure in which the functions in a library or an
instrument driver are grouped. The function tree simplifies access to
a library or instrument driver by presenting functions organize d
according to the operation they perform, as opposed to a single linear
listing of all available functions.
Function Tree Editor window The window in which you build the skeleton of a function panel file.
It is described in the LabWindows/CVI Instrument Driver
DevelopersGuide.
G
Generated Code box A small box located at the bottom of the function panel screen that
displays the function call code that corresponds to the current state
of the function panel controls.
global control A function panel control that displays the contents of global variables
in a library function. Global controls allow you to monitor global
variables in a function that the function does not specifically return
as results by the function. These are read-only controls that cannot be
altered by the user, and do not contribute a parameter to the generated
code.
glue code Special code that provides the interface between 32-bit
LabWindows/CVI applications and 16-bit DLLs.
H
hex Hexadecimal.
